Teriyaki Madness To Celebrate Opening In Wesley Chapel Oct. 2

WESLEY CHAPEL, FL — This October, Scott and Denise Lingeman are bringing some madness to Wesley Chapel with the opening of the newest Teriyaki Madness.

The Seattle-style teriyaki restaurant will offer large, satisfying bowls of addicting flavors made with high-quality ingredients like all-natural marinated chicken, steak, salmon or tofu with fresh, stir-fried veggies and a base of Yakisoba noodles or steamed white, brown or fried rice.

The new restaurant is located at 28152 Paseo Drive at The Shops at Wiregrass.

The Lingemans are inviting teriyaki lovers out to celebrate the Teriyaki Madness grand opening with events from Sept. 30 through Oct. 5. The schedule of events and primary giveaways include:

• Sept. 30: This sneak peek training event gives customers the chance to try Teriyaki Madness’ famous chicken teriyaki bowls for free. The first 100 people in line between 11 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. and 5 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. will be offered a free entrée with the option to purchase drinks for $1 and appetizers for $2. This is a training exercise before officially opening to the public.
• Oct. 2-4: In-shop customers get a special deal on $5 Junior and Regular Chicken Teriyaki Bowls.
• Oct. 3: The grand opening celebration kicks off at 11 a.m. and the first five customers who order an entrée will win free bowls for a year, while the next 20 customers who order an entrée will win free bowls for a month.
• Oct. 5: $1 from every regular bowl purchased will be donated to the American Red Cross’ Hurricane Dorian relief efforts in the Bahamas.

The Lingemans joined Teriyaki Madness as a way for Scott to transition out of his 35-year career as a commercial airline pilot. The brand offered the Lingemans a business model and corporate support system that provided Scott with both a better quality of life and a new income stream to retire more comfortably. They also loved Teriyaki Madness’ made-to-order bowls that are built fresh when a customer places an order.

“The customizability means it can be as healthy or as indulgent as you want it to be,” said Scott Lingeman. “There’s really nothing like this in the Tampa area.”

While some Floridians are already familiar with Teriyaki Madness, the Lingemans intend to drive brand buzz throughout Florida.

“In addition to this location, we have one that is currently under construction in Clearwater that’s going to open later this year,” said Scott Lingeman. “We’re trying to bring brand awareness up in Florida because people are already really excited about it.”

“In the past decade, we have been growing at a rapid pace, introducing mouthwatering, bold-flavors in new communities, and we are ecstatic to be opening up our first shop in Wesley Chapel,” said Teriyaki Madness CEO Michael Haith. “Scott and Denise are wonderful members of our franchise family, and we are so excited to watch and support them as they champion the brand’s entry into this new market and drive success in the state while Teriyaki Madness continues to expand beyond Wesley Chapel and throughout Florida.”

Teriyaki Madness was recently recognized among Entrepreneur Magazine’s Top Food Franchises of 2019 and was named one of Fast Casual’s 2019 Movers and Shakers. Founded in 2003, the brand currently has franchise agreements in place for nearly 150 shops across the U.S.
